In total there are 8 specimens of this enigmatic soft body fossil on this plate. The largest Eldonia fossil on this piece measures about 87 mm in diameter. The Softbody fossils from this locality are mentioned by Van Roy in 2011 as Tafilalt Biota. This conservation lagerstaette must be considered as a important locality of Palaeontology.
